Podaa Podi is STR’s dance treat for
his fans along with debutante Varalakshmi
Sarathkumar. The movie also promises a nice
romance between the lead pair. Dharan has
composed the music for this movie which is
planned as a Diwali release. The music of
the movie was directly launched in stores
and the net.

Appan Mavanae Vaadaa...
STR
Lyrics: Vaalee

This is a different cheeky song that talks
about the love that a dad has for his expected
baby. The informal lyrics by the legendary
Vaalee are sure to standout for being colloquial.
The tempo of the song is relentless at places
thanks to the beats and all the native instruments.
The baseline loop is very catchy and there
is a lilting flute portion in the first interlude.
STR’s voice has been auto-tuned well
in the high pitches and the song ends very
well too. Will be a favorite with the youth,
all the way!

Hare Rama Hare Krishna...
Dharan Kumar
Lyrics: Vignesh Shiva

This is a feel-good candy floss romance song.
Very peppy and goes well with the genre of
the film. Has a nice rhythm and ensures a
pleasant refreshing experience. The violin
portions in the first interlude add more depth
to the song. This might become a favorite
with the romantics and the ‘Hare Rama
Hare Krishna’ refrain might become a
ringtone too.

I am a Kuthu Dancer...
Shankar Mahadevan, STR
Lyrics: STR

This is a riotous dance number intended to
position STR’s enviable dancing skills.
It would send the feet tapping for sure thanks
to the ‘dapankuthu' beats. The distortion
guitars have a prominent presence to increase
the song’s rock feel. The song shifts
gears higher halfway through and we get to
hear all of STR’s hit songs’ lyrics.
This might probably be one of the movie’s
highlight sequences particularly for STR fans.
The song ends in a blaze of thumping percussions.

Podaa Podi...
Benny Dayal, Andrea Jeremiah
Lyrics: Na. Muthukumar

This is the song that talks about the lead
pair’s bonding and chemistry. It begins
on a cute note with harmonica and has nice
breezy guitars and cool trendy vocals by Benny
Dayal and Andrea. This one has already caught
on thanks to the trailer particularly the
‘Podaa Podi’ refrains.

Love Panlaama Vaenaama...
STR
Lyrics: STR

This number has already become a rage among
the youth for the typically debate-worthy
lyrics penned by STR. The song begins with
‘videogame’ish music and then
the super groovy beats pickup. It is in the
hip-hop genre with STR doing a fabulous job
akin to Eminem. The mixing for this track
lifts the track several notches higher while
there are some elaborate dramatic instrumental
portions. On the whole, it is a cute number
and a winner all the way for STR, the singer
and lyricist.

Un Paarvaiyilae...
Sindhu, Monisha, Pradeep
Lyrics: Vignesh Shiva

This is a rock and roll song which is cheerful.
The vocals style is pretty unconventional
at parts. There are funky guitars, drums,
piano and brass instruments which go with
the rock and roll mood of the song. The chorus
parts have a choir effect.

This song has trance effects and the vocals
have been heavily auto tuned. There are lots
of quirky electronic sounds as well as a peppy
accordion track that visits the song at places.
The Maattikittenae refrain is catchy. The
song gets a bit of a party mood towards the
end.

Theme of Podaa Podi...
Instrumental

The theme starts with a very likable and subtle
guitar and piano portion. It then becomes
an eclectic mix with flamenco touches replete
with tapping beats and a prominent Chinese
style strings and flute portion. We also have
a wonderful symphony portion reminiscent of
7G Rainbow Colony and 3. Superb effort on
this one!

Verdict: The music perfectly
complements the fact that it is a dance based
romance flick. STR’s moves will make the dance
numbers shine even more on screen while his
Appan Mavanae song is one of a kind for sure.
The album‘s breezy songs are also impressive.
Dharan is bound to get a good break with Podaa
Podi.
